Hearing music in Saudi Arabia
Maraya opened in December 2019 and covers 9,740 square metres, and it holds the Guinness World Record for the largest mirrored building. Concerts are of Arabic classical, Arabic pop and instrumental music, with seats assigned in Gold, Silver or Bronze tiers when you arrive. Evening performances suit the setting, as the mirrors hold the last light. It is a good fit for travellers who want architecture and landscape first and a concert second.
